Welcome to Krafting with Karen. I love Shabby Chic, Collage, and Eclectic designs. Right now I'm in love with dolls. Looking forward to sharing stamping tricks and tips with fellow crafters.

Lunchtime Sketch

Just playing along with another one of Mary Jo's Monday Lunchtime Sketches. You can visit Mary' site and see more cards here

I used Fever Young stamp set. Colors: White, Basic Gray, and Regal Rose. Word stamp is from an retired hostess set Cute Converse. Hello Doily background stamp also used. I used an aqua painter with basic gray ink to "ground" the tree. Triple Trio heart punch used for the girl on the swing and word bar. I really like the boy and girl profiles at the top of the Regal Rose layer.

Really late with posting today. Wasn't feeling well yesterday, and it took me most of today to get around to perking up.

I think its the weather. Cold and wet. Big difference from last week 80 + temps. I knew as soon as I packed the winter clothes this would happen. RATS!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I've been crafting for as long as I can remember. I love to stamp, sew, and use different mixed media in my crafting. Along the way I'm sorry to admit that I put on extra weight. In 2008 I joined Weight Watchers and have since lost 80 pounds. I'm currently still working on my weigh loss journey which I'll also be sharing with my readers on this blog. I'm getting closer, but still have more work to do. My family and friends have been a great support to me. My hubby Skip who've I've been married to for over 30 years has had to suffer through healthier meals. My daughter Sarah who has also lost weight helps me to stay on track. We share great recipes, and give each other encouragement. My son John still lives at home, and is also a great help to me. Don't know what I'd do without him.
